Microneedling

Treatment Overview

Dupage Dermatology offers Microneedling in Willowbrook, IL to reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles – as well as remove unwanted tattoos from the skin. Microneedling is one of the gentlest and least invasive methods to rejuvenate the skin for a beautiful complexion and hair growth.

Microneedling is an aid in the reduction of scars and wrinkles. In addition, it helps stimulate collagen for skin enhancement and hair growth.

What is Microneedling?

The science behind microneedling

Microneedling is a popular procedure that consists of several tiny needles in a pen-like device that are moved over the skin and penetrate to a specific depth. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing system, causing the skin to “heal” itself by generating fresh, new skin cells and eventually resurfacing treated areas.

Microneedling has an additional advantage by acting as a “dermal infusion device” by topically delivering medical-grade skin care products directly into the dermis through microchannels to accelerate the healing process and promote collagen development.

Microneedling + PRP

Microneedling is one of the most comfortable and least invasive ways to rejuvenate the skin. While micro-needling is effective as a stand-alone treatment, at Dupage Dermatology & Aesthetics we can pair it with PRP to optimize results. We proudly use Eclipse PRP™ products for these treatments.

What is PRP? PRP is created from a small sample of the patient’s blood that is spun in a centrifuge and divided into its separate components. PRP is the liquid portion of the blood infused with a high concentration of platelets – these cells are responsible for clotting but also contain a high number of natural growth factors.
